Don’t know what I was thinking, I guess I just needed the bones at the time. Super rare import. I truly regret selling, if the person I sold to sees this I want to buy it back! 😂

The case alone was a European rare HK release 1500 by itself if you could find one. The pistol was imported by a person I dealt with and engraved under the match compensator .
 
I've only sold 2 handguns. That was summer '23. A Walther PPQ M2 and an HK VP9. Bought them back in 2014 while SSE was still a thing but was coming to an end. Never fired either one of them. Since they were still off roster (VP9 and PDP are on now), they commanded a pretty hefty "premium" especially unfired, in original box with all extras. I threw in 2 extra mags for each. Despite the "premium", I did unload them at a good discount compared to others for sale and modest profit for me. Sold them to 2 other calgunners.

No regrets. I have 2 other PPQs from the same year (4" & 5"). The VP9s are on roster now, so I can replace it easily if I want to.
 
Yeah, I've been there. I sold a Remington 700 years ago to cover some bills, and I still kick myself for it. It is the smoothest bolt I've ever had, I wish I'd held onto it
 
I had a old cheapie heritage 22/22mag I regret selling it always good to have to just plinking around I miss that

One thing that used to P!$$ me off on calguns is that the LEOs buy off roster handguns and sell them through private party, for years. It was a huge money making scheme that allowed the LEO to work around the roster. This is yet another reason the roster needs to be abolished.

Any handgun that is ok with LEO to purchase, should be OK for all civilians as well, IMO. That used to play out on calguns a LOT. I never bought one, but if I did, it would have been a Walther.
 
I agree. It all is just a typical BS idea which originated from California bureaucracy. Many gun manufacturers won't play the Cal BS game, since it is too costly for them to pay to play. I do know a Pasadena Police officer who was thrown into the graybar hotel when he was selling off roster guns for a profit. Now they are watching quantities purchased and quantities sold, very closely.

I have sold many over the years that I miss. Each made way for something else.
